I'm Okay

Chapter Five

Callaghan's mind must be slipping; kidnapping people to do the evil deeds you need done must do that to one's mind.

The former professor didn't lock the door to the room Tadashi was in.

And how the young adult stumbled upon that must have been a miracle from above. One minute Tadashi was just trying to move around a little bit, gently stretch the aching muscles he possessed, and the next thing he knows, he's stupidly reaching for the door handle. And he then had the audacity to stand there in the open doorway with a shocked expression on his face for a number of minutes before his mind told him to quietly run.

And that's how Tadashi found himself sneaking around the warehouse, because that's what it was, staying as in the shadows as he could. He was careful not to actually touch anything, afraid the object would move, make a noise or do something else that would draw attention to himself.

There was a faint glow coming from around the corner. He stuck as close to the wall as he could as he inched forward, slowly peeking around the corner to see a frosted glass encased room. He glanced all around himself, trying to see if Callaghan was around before he limped forward, curiosity getting the best of him.

When he reached the room, he leaned close to the glass to see through it. Robotic machine arms moved side-to-side as they worked on something, what exactly, Tadashi was quite sure. He stepped to the side to look around the corner and saw a very small conveyor belt and Microbots being dropped into garbage cans.

So that's how they were going to remake them. He thought to himself as he walked around, noting the dozens more cans behind everything, already full of the remade bots. Why does he need so many? Tadashi continued to question in his head, hoping that soon he'd know.

That's when a large bulletin board caught his attention. Red string was tied to thumbtacks holding up newspaper clippings, internet printouts and other things over a large map of San Fransokyo.

He stepped closer, trying to connect anything on the board together. What in the name of-

"Oh no."

Tadashi jumped and ninja rolled behind some kind of table off in the shadows when he heard the random voice. The young adult could hear his heart beating furiously in his chest; it was so loud to him that he swore if anyone were to walk by, they could hear it. He held his breath and listened.

Very faint footsteps are all he could hear.

He looked around himself to try to find a different place to hide, because really, cowering under a table was not the best choice. The only other place he could see to hide behind that was slightly better than where he was was behind a corner.

Taking the chance, he dashed out from under the table to behind the corner, just in time to stay out of eyesight of someone walking up to the glass room.

"-microbots?" A very familiar voice reached Tadashi's ears.

HIRO?!

Tadashi peeked around the corner and sure enough, Hiro was standing there, taking in the fact that someone was remaking his Microbots.

"Hiro!" Tadashi oh-so-quietly whispered. He needed to get Hiro's attention. He needed to get Hiro out of there. He needed to get them both out of there. "Hiro!" He called a half-notch louder.

Still the teen didn't hear him.

"Hiro!" Tadashi tried again, even louder, but unfortunately someone else called Hiro's name.

Is that Baymax? The college student was completely dumbfounded. His little brother and Tadashi's college project were standing in the warehouse.

Still in San Fransokyo then. Tadashi mused to himself as he started to creep closer to Hiro and Baymax.

Suddenly a metal, metallic sound resounded in his ears, and Tadashi looked over just in time to catch some whack job dressed in black with a menacing trench coat control the Microbots that were already made. The little bots rose up in the air, creating a wall of themselves before going after Hiro and Baymax.

"No!" Tadashi scrambled to do something, anything.

"Come on!" Hiro's voice reached Tadashi over the sound of the Microbots.

"I am not fast." Baymax calmly stated.

Tadashi missed Hiro's response as he was too busy trying to sneak behind the crazy with the neurotransmitter. Note to self. Tadashi began thinking. Make Baymax move faster. It would probably be beneficial.

The young adult stayed in the shadows, moving whenever the person's back was to him. But he had to move quick; quick and quiet while also alert. Alert for Tadashi's own self, and alert of Hiro and Baymax. If need be, Tadashi would jump right out and stand between his little brother and the invention being used for most likely not good deeds.

The little chase led Tadashi to standing on a very dangerous and unstable looking catwalk right behind the guy going after Hiro.

"Come on! The window!" Tadashi watched Hiro pull Baymax up and push him towards a window. He also observed the two struggled to get Baymax out and the Microbots getting closer.

Tadashi took in a deep breath before he jumped on the person behind the weird mask, effectively taking the person's full attention off of Hiro.

The person was obviously not expecting Tadashi and the two fell to the floor of the catwalk in a heap, the little bridge way swinging very precariously, along with the Microbots falling to wherever.

"What are you doing out?!" Callaghan's muffled voice reached Tadashi's ears as the two wrestled to get the upper hand. The younger male looked toward the window just as Baymax looked up and let go of the frame.

And for half a second, Tadashi was pretty sure Baymax saw him. Of course he saw you! Hyper-spectral cameras! He's scanned you. He could pick you out from a crowd of hundreds of people.

His momentary mental sidetrack cost him the upper hand of the little tussle he and who he could only guess as Callaghan, were having.

"You were just attacking a kid!" Tadashi yelled back in response. "Why would you do that?" He tried to push his teacher off of him, but the man weighed more than he seemed he would.

"Don't get in my way again, mister Hamada." Callaghan pushed the mask off his face as he held his former student down.

At least Hiro got away.

"Tadashi is here."

Not the longest, I know I'm sorry. This was actually suppose to be part of the pervious chapter, but I got to lazy and impatient to wait for me to write this, so I posted that chapter and now here's this one.

Hey quick question, how is my writing shaping up? Like, have I improved with detail writing? Or am I just kidding myself?
